Dangerous Goods
Service TypesDefinition
Articles or substances capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment when transported by air. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) classifies dangerous goods into 9 classes (explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizers, toxic/infectious, radioactive, corrosives, and miscellaneous). Lithium batteries (Class 9) are the most commonly shipped DG in time-critical logistics. All FlashGL dangerous goods handling is performed by IATA DGR-certified personnel with full compliance documentation.
Related FAQs
Does FlashGL handle dangerous goods? +
Yes, within regulatory limits. FlashGL complies with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for air transport and ADR for road transport. We handle common DG categories including lithium batteries (UN3481, UN3091), chemical precursors, and battery-powered equipment.
Each DG shipment includes proper classification, packaging, marking, labeling, and documentation. For items that cannot fly as DG, we arrange alternative transport modes.
How should I package my shipment? +
Use a sturdy outer box or case with internal cushioning that prevents movement during transit. For OBC shipments, remember the courier must be able to hand-carry the package through airports, so a practical size and secure closure matter.
Special cargo has additional requirements: temperature-sensitive goods travel in validated thermal containers we can supply; fragile electronics should use anti-static and shock-absorbing packaging; dangerous goods must follow IATA DGR packing instructions — our team confirms the correct packaging class before pickup.
Not sure? Send us photos and dimensions of your item, and our operations desk will advise the right packaging — or arrange professional packing at origin.
